To those who see Israel as an agressor in the ongoing fighting in their region of the world, I ask a straightforward question:
What does Israel seek to gain via their continued fighting?
Expanding: if the fighting stopped now and Hamas permanently ceased the launching of rockets and mortars at Israel, terrorist bombings, etc., and the current borders in the region were made permanent, what goals of Israel's would go unmet? What would be lost that they seek to gain?
Some potential answers (not that I think they are true...):
-Israel seeks the extermination of the Palestinian people.
-Israel seeks to continue feeding it's military industrial complex with American money.
-Israel seeks to annex Gaza and make it a permanent part of Israel.
My reason for asking the question is a simple piece of logic. If Israel has nothing to gain by continuing to fight, then there is only one logical reason why they are fighting: they are fighting because they are being attacked.
